This free decoder reads the 17 characters of an Anfini VIN and shows the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. No registration is needed. Our data for the brand is small: one model, the MS-8, with one body style, sedan, and version data for model years 1992 to 1998.
A VIN holds nothing about accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report, which is a separate step from this decoder.
Pick a Anfini model to see how its VIN works.
Every VIN of a car built since 1981 has 17 characters, and the letters I, O and Q are never used. The first three characters are the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer and the country. For Anfini we currently have no WMI codes mapped, so we cannot list any here. Our list is not complete, and a VIN that starts with other characters is not a problem in itself.
Characters 4 to 8 describe the vehicle, and character 9 is the check digit. North American VINs must use it, while many European VINs fill that position differently. Character 10 is the model year. For the years in our Anfini data the letters are N for 1992, P for 1993, R for 1994, S for 1995, T for 1996, V for 1997 and W for 1998. The letter alone repeats after 30 years, so N can also mean 2022, and the body of the car and its documents help you decide which applies.
Character 11 marks the plant where the car was built, and characters 12 to 17 are the serial number. Together they separate one car from another of the same model and year.
Every VIN has six parts. This is what each of them means.
| Part | Characters | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| WMI | 1 to 3 | World manufacturer identifier: who built the vehicle and where |
| VDS | 4 to 8 | Vehicle descriptor: model, body type and engine, as set by the manufacturer |
| Check digit | 9 | Control value that helps confirm the VIN is valid |
| Model year | 10 | Code for the model year |
| Plant | 11 | Code for the assembly plant |
| Serial | 12 to 17 | Production sequence number of this vehicle |
On the driver's side, visible through the windshield.
On a sticker on the door frame or the edge of the door.
Printed in the vehicle registration or title.
Stamped on the firewall or the frame on many models.
A VIN is built from six parts, and each one says something about the vehicle. Our guides explain how to read it and what it can and cannot tell you.
Enter the 17-character VIN and see the factory basics in seconds.
Look at the registration document first, then check the car itself, where the VIN is usually visible at the base of the windscreen or on a plate in the door frame. Compare all of them character by character, since the number must be identical everywhere.
The first three characters are the WMI, which names the manufacturer and country. We have no WMI codes mapped to Anfini at the moment, so we cannot name specific ones. The decoder still reads the rest of the VIN in the usual way.
Check the 10th character. Within our Anfini data, N means 1992, P 1993, R 1994, S 1995, T 1996, V 1997 and W 1998. An MS-8 with a T in that position, for example, points to model year 1996.
It cannot show accidents, mileage, theft records or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also does not give engine power for Anfini, as we have no figure for it.
Make sure the VIN on the car matches the one in the registration papers, and that the model year letter fits the car you are being shown. Then have the car inspected in person, since cars from 1992 to 1998 are old enough for wear and past repairs to matter.
